The Dow Jones industrial average plunged more than 1,100 points Monday as stocks took their worst loss in six-and-a-half years. Two days of steep losses have erased the market's gains from the start of this year and ended a period of record-setting calm for stocks.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks gave up 56.18 points, or 3.6 percent, for 1,491.09.

For the year:

The S&P 500 is down 24.67 points, or 0.9 percent.

The Dow is down 373.47 points, or 1.5 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 64.13 points, or 0.9 percent.
